Marvel's Wolverine PS5 reviews land at 77, one of Sony's lowest-rated first-party games

Marvel's Wolverine for PS5 has received a Metacritic score of 77, making it one of the lowest-rated first-party Sony games of the generation and disappointing critics and fans who expected higher from developer Insomniac Games. Reviews cite excessive hand-holding navigation, simplistic combat, and a linear, scripted structure as major flaws, with some critics like SkillUp not recommending the game. The score is notably lower than Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 (90) and has sparked debate about Sony's quality standards and the studio's workload. Commenters note the game's $70 price point and crowded release schedule may hurt sales, though many expect it to sell well due to Wolverine's popularity. Some speculate review scores reflect backlash against Sony's recent business decisions, while others argue the game's flaws are legitimate.
